Summary
Adds
UnifiedBuffer!Tto the CUDA driver, enabling allocation of Unified Memory (Managed Memory) viacuMemAllocManaged. A unified buffer is accessible from both the host (CPU) and device (GPU) through the same pointer, so explicitcopy!(Copy.hostToDevice)/copy!(Copy.deviceToHost)calls are not needed.Requires CUDA Compute Capability >= 3.0 (
Device.supportsUnifiedMemory == true).tests/main.ddev.supportsUnifiedMemorychecksaxpykernel viaUnifiedBuffer, verifies result viahostSlicewith no explicit copy calls, synchronized withContext.sync()Notes
prefetch()is a stub with a doc comment explaining the limitation.derelict-cudato abindbc-based CUDA binding is being tracked separately.
